So uhh, pollsters fucked this up again in Sanders favour this time it seems?

 

[Big Blue]

I don't know why people should be expected to just automatically switch to Hillary from Bernie. I agree it's shitty to vote for Trump because fuck Hillary and hate that people would do that but that's their choice. I don't expect all (and also I really fucking hope) that all the Republicans don't just automatically switch to Trump if their candidate loses.

Really it's up to Hillary to now work to bring in all those now Dillusioned Bernie supporters if it's really so worrying that Berniebros don't want to vote for her in the General Election. If she can't do that then I'm not sure she really wanted the Presidency that much.

Once the debates start, and the talking points are made I think the Sanders supporters will fall in line.

 

[Pyrokai]

Bernie : (

 

[LProtag]

I was really hoping for Bernie, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'll always be grateful that he paved the way for people to talk about socialist policies as a realistic idea in the US in this modern age.

 

[User 463088]

Congrats to Bernie and his supporters for running a good campaign in Ohio. My bf and I managed to GOTV today for Hillary, and I called all weekend leading up to this.

 

[Fat4all]

Kasich won Ohio.

There ya go.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

I really truly do not want Hillary as President, but it does indeed look like Bernie is done. If it is indeed Trump vs Hillary like it looks like it is after tonight, then yeah the lesser of two evils is Hillary.

So nothing will change or improve for the majority of Americans for eight years now, this sucks. :(

Are you blind or just extremely short sighted? Supreme court picks by Clinton for the next 8 years will help progressives for DECADES.

 

[GK86]

Let's say hypothetically Bernie realizes he has no chance and decides to suspend his campaign. What happens to the tens of millions of dollars he raised?

 

[MetalGearZed]

Don't worry Hillary gaf. i'll be on the Hilladawg train come GE. Being a Bernie supporter at times like this just isnt good the ether. i need time to recover.🤒🤒🤒

 

[Yoda]

Youth vote is non existent this time around, looks Bernie might squeak by in IL and MO, but that's the best he can hope for.

 

[Volimar]

LOL WHAT LOL

I like him relative to the rest of the GOP crowd because "I think he's not evil" and "I trust him with a nuclear arsenal" but his policy positions are the complete opposite from Democrats w/ the exception of health care.

He....he is evil though. Why do people keep saying this....I...

 

[Cindro]

Make no mistake, if you're a Bernie fan who switches to vote for Trump, you're voting for racism.

Who on earth are you even talking to?

 

[Acosta]

Cnn called Ohio for Kasich.

 

[shwimpy]

They're watching a Fox News feed, Wolf.

 

[radrelic]

KASICHMENTUM

we in there fam

 

[Pineapple]

Why is Kasich even celebrating? Why are his fans cheering?

He is mathematically eliminated.

He could win 100% of the votes from here on out and still not win the nomination.

 

[Measley]

Is their live stream on youtube or their website i couldnt find it last time.

YT, but they went to break as soon as Ohio was called for Hillary.

 

[redmetal86]

I guess he's going to keep playing the long game.

 

[psynergylover]

"Ladies are pimps too! gon brush ya shoulder off!"

"GET. THAT. DIRT OF YA SHOULDERS!"

couldn't help myself

 

[Mix Master]

kasich won 1 state and his fans are going crazy, what the fuck?

 

[Shard]

How fucked up is it that John Kaisch is the last traditional still left in this race?

 

[Heartfyre]

I'm just glad Bernie was there to steer the narrative to the left and give some competition to Hillary. At least she had to do some work for it rather than simply be handed the crown and sceptre. The Republican nominee won't be able to say she hasn't earned her place.

 

[giga]

bernie just needs to go ahead and endorse chafee

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Make no mistake, if you're a Bernie fan who switches to vote for Trump, you're voting for racism.

I know this is pathetic, but my fear isn't they will vote for Trump. It's that they simply won't care enough to vote at all, and the dem vet is low at the generals.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

it's about stopping Trump and trying to convince the GOP that he can be their man in a brokered convention

 

[Miles X]

Grey suit news guy on CNN is hot.

 

[Geg]

I'm just now tuning into CNN to see the numbers

Wow, Clinton and Trump kicked everyone's ass in Florida.

 

[woolley]

I love how CNN is trying to act like Kasich supporters were watching them while Fox News is on the big screen right behind him.

 

[Spider from Mars]

That's a definitive wrap on Bernard.

 

[Grexeno]

If you're okay with higher taxes, come to Canada and you get all that.

And then the oil runs out.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Yeah but Kasich winning Ohio isn't shocking. He was hoping and begging for this for weeks and weeks now. And like I said, he's the governor. What does this actually change other than preventing a two man race?

 

[Calamari41]

Why is Kasich even celebrating? Why are his fans cheering?

He is mathematically eliminated.

He thinks he's going to be the establishment choice in a brokered convention.

No, really.

Kontested Konvention.

 

[manzoman96]

Happy for Kasich. The only republican running that I like.

 

[boiled goose]

Are you blind or just extremely short sighted? Supreme court picks by Clinton for the next 8 years will help progressives for DECADES.

My hope for Clinton is that Hillary chooses to crush republicans instead of working with them like Obama.

This is one thing that could make me excited about her as president.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

How fucked up is it that John Kaisch is the last traditional still left in this race?

Very.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

kasich won 1 state and his fans are going crazy, what the fuck?

1 more than they thought he could win

 

[catmincer]

Grey suit news guy on CNN is hot.

Yes! Need name.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Yeah cheap college and universal healthcare. Fairytales, right? Every time I get some serious health issues I wish I could say, "Be back in a few hours I'm going to the hospital for some X-rays." Instead I have to say, "I sure wish I could go to the hospital for Xray, but I don't have $800".

This is why I want out of this country.

I want those things too but Bernie would never get those through with the House being what it is/will be for at least the next couple election cycles.

Hopefully his (not insignificant) success energizes the next generation of Dems and we can actually see these things happen in the next 8 years or so. Several southern states are changing a lot demographic-wise and the political map is going to look very different in 2024.

 

[cameron]

On the bright side, Clinton could still potentially go to jail

.

 

[ExVicis]

Once the debates start, and the talking points are made I think the Sanders supporters will fall in line.

I hope so, this spite voting thing is really stupid. They can do it sure and no one can stop them, but it's really really petty and will just hurt us all.

 

[mcfrank]

Voted for Bernie, but I wouldn't be too bummed if Hillary wins each state if it causes the party to consolidate before the repubs do. None of the dem primaries are winner take all though, so even wins in every state leaves wiggle room in a "So you're saying there's a chance" kind of way.

Still seems too soon to call Ohio imo.

Kind of the opposite really. Because none of the future states are winner take all, Burney has no chance of catching up even if he wins a few states tonight. He would need to run up a bunch of 80-20 and 70-30 wins in the remaining contests and that won't happen.

 

[mo60]

So what happens to the presidential race on the democrats side if bernie drops out of the race tonight?

 

[Rebel Leader]

Why is Kasich even celebrating? Why are his fans cheering?

He is mathematically eliminated.

He could win 100% of the votes from here on out and still not win the nomination.

The GOP neither want Cruz or Trump

 

[TwoDurans]

I know this is pathetic, but my fear isn't they will vote for Drumpf. It's that they simply won't care enough to vote at all, and the dem vet is low at the generals.

If Drumpf is the GOP nominee you shouldn't worry about a low Dem turnout. At all.

 

[sphagnum]

Any Sanders supporter who votes for Trump supports fascism. You don't have to vote for Hillary if you live in a non-swing state, but if you do live in a swing state, vote for Hillary. Capitalism is still more historically progressive than fascism, and helping Trump win in any way is worse than maintaining the status quo and working within the party to try to force it more leftwards through midterms and local elections.

 

[Merc_]

I honestly didn't expect it to go this poorly for Bernie.

Well, he tried and did a hell of a job all things considered.

 

[ctothej]

How's it looking in Missouri? Will Clinton win this one too?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm just glad Bernie was there to steer the narrative to the left and give some competition to Hillary. At least she had to do some work for it rather than simply be handed the crown and sceptre. The Republican nominee won't be able to say she hasn't earned her place.

Agreed, but once Bernie drops Hilary will shift back right a bit.

 

[HylianTom]

I was really hoping for Bernie, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'll always be grateful that he paved the way for people to talk about socialist policies as a realistic idea in the US in this modern age.

It's pretty clear that Bernie's way is the future of the Democratic Party.

2016 will determine whether the Bernie Sanders candidate of 2024 has a friendly judiciary that will allow his legal achievements to live, or whether he has a hostile judiciary that will kill anything that is brought before it.
